Duterte arrives in Netherlands for ICC charges

Former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte has arrived in the Netherlands to face International Criminal Court charges of crimes against humanity related to his anti-drug campaign. The ICC claims there are reasonable grounds to believe he was involved in numerous murders. Duterte will be held in a detention center before an initial court appearance. His supporters protested outside, claiming he was kidnapped, while victims of the drug war expressed gratitude for his arrest, viewing it as a step toward justice. The Philippines withdrew from the ICC in 2019, but the court maintains jurisdiction over events prior to that. Duterte's actions during his presidency, including alleged involvement in the "Davao Death Squad," are central to the charges against him.
